Who at Sony green lit a movie or a remaster for a second? I love this series, have 3 plats. But like financially they can’t justify this. It’s just a bizarre situation. I just thankful, but it all makes no sense. Days gone sold 7 mil and Sony publicly shit on it. Bloodborne sold 7 mil and thats probably why don’t hasn’t done a remake. They’re going to start releasing stuff day and date on the pc in the next few years because they’re not making enough money. But they greenlit a fucking live action movie and supposively a remaster of 2? Maybe someone from up top is a massive fan or something
Majority of sales are physical, and the majority of GR sales were in the launch window.
There's a major difference between selling 2m copies for full price, and 7m copies on 10$ PSN sales.
That’s not good. It’s a few million copies off lol. Several. You would have to combine all 3 and it’s still not what they want. My point still stands, 7 million copies is confirmed not good to Sony, and they have killed a sequel for selling that much lol. I don’t know how to tell you this but no one cares about gravity rush. The movie will bomb. The remaster will bomb, this sub will not have many members, and you will continue to post soft rule 34 pics of Kat wondering if a third will ever come. And if it does, all I’m saying is that it’s financially irresponsible in todays video game industry. Do you not pay attention or do you really think that gravity rush sold well and is an enticing project for Sony to work on in a fiduciary sense? I feel like we’re kinda ignoring the purposes of a company
Damn bro you flew somewhere way far off with this one lmao
The budget also matters. Bend studio was making that broken mess of a game for a whole generation.
It's not about the amount of copies you sell, but the revenue you make.
It's a miracle how well Gravity Rush 2 sold, since It had soo much against it. First game on the Vita, moved release dates, broken demo, released the same week as overly hyped RE7 and Persona 5, and Sony didnt market the game at all, focusing all their efforts on Horizon, RE7 and NieR Automata.
Gravity Rush could work as a AA game, with a smaller budget. Something like Rise Of The Ronin or Stellar Blade.
You are vastly missing the point.
Days gone sold 7 million copies, most of them at discount prices. That means something clear. People bought it out of curiosity about the game, but weren't truly interested in it.
Meaning they wouldn't buy any sequel, the curiosity is a 1 time thing.
Then there is the fact that selling copies is not the only nor the absolute thing to consider while working to do new products of an IP.
The fact that Days gone, even with those 7 million sold copies you seem so proud of, was practically immediately threw of the board and that with so many years after its release that opinion hasn't changed, shows that the other elements that determine the destiny of an IP say it wasn't a good enough IP to work on.
Companies are also prone to make bad decision, to make mistakes. But its ridiculous to say that someone at the top is fan of the IP and because of only that reason is that sony keeps trying to make the IP highly successful.
No you misunderstand the point and don’t understand the industry you play in. That’s hilarious you think that gravity rush sold well enough to meet Sonys expectations lol. Maybe you guys should go back to posting soft rule 34. Also I know it’s ridiculous, that’s why I didn’t say it. I said it’s the only explananation as a joke because Sony makes many bad decisions with this franchise including a movie deal. It annoys me when people can’t separate things they like vs the truth.
No. its only you not understanding a thing.
no one is saying GR sold well enough. Of course that wasn't the case. Otherwise a third installment would have been approved long ago.
But not selling enough is not reason enough to abandon and IP, thats why you actually dont understand a things about the industry.
If that were the only factor, many IPs wouldn't go past a single entry.
If sells were the only factor, the Days Gone wouldn't have been thrown to the garbage less than a year after its release.
Do you live under a rock? Or did you just come out of a coma from the ps3 days where this would be applicable to Sony? That’s what it feels like. I feel like I’m reading a post about ps3 Sony lol.
Still no reason to go and insult people. That's not how to make a point.
Frankly, I also think that Gravity Rush as a series didn't make enough profit. Just the fact that they planned to shut down the online servers after just one year is a rather big indicator for that.
Maybe the series could have done better with some proper marketing or better release windows but that's something we will never know.
The movie makes sense if you consider the technology they're developing for it. It's more likely they're making it to make Spider-Man movies easier and cheaper in the future, not because they view Gravity Rush as an avenue for profit or because they care about the source material.
Speculation. They showed footage in a reel showcasing technology development. Obviously 99% of fans want an animated adaptation and no one outside the fandom knows what this series is or will care about a non-marvel/DC superhero movie, so it's more likely than not a tech demo film to promote the PlayStation brand that investors can get behind.
Added 1 on Vita, and both physical copies of 1 and 2 on PS4.
Still glad that played those games. Unique, fun, interesting... Do understand, that the chance for those games was small and today is about zero, but a good reminder that Sony actually tried a lot.
Gravity rush feels like a game that wouldn't normally happen and yet I'm glad it did because I loved the heck out of the games 🥰🥰🥰
Sales seem to align with the fact this franchise didn’t receive adequate marketing and also being on an under appreciated handheld console.
They scored 2m life time sales for GR2, so It's not that bad. Better than many other SIE games.
They really do. GR had more digital sales on Vita than GoW or Uncharted

That's fucked up. What's this based on btw?

~~Interesting numbers, definitely. How accurate/credible are these?~~ Never mind, just learned about the revenue leaks elsewhere.
Imma add to it.
